Food safety maintains its top position as an issue for manufacturers as they face increased scrutiny from regulators and consumers, both globally and nationally in the US. With the US Food Safety Modernization Act set to bring about the greatest change to American food safety regulations in 70 years, manufacturers face increased pressure to upgrade food safety equipment and data collection. Further afield, major markets such as China and the EU firmly place liability on manufacturers to maintain product safety and consumer health. In this heightened climate of food safety regulation and compliance, Eagle Product Inspection (Eagle) will showcase its inline inspection technology excellence at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 (Booth C-3803) and Process Expo 2015 (Booth #1216 – East Hall), in addition to launching a number of new cutting edge machines.
The pioneers in x-ray inspection and fat measurement technologies will debut three new innovations developed to ensure product quality and operational efficiency, facilitating high throughput rates for food, beverage and meat manufacturers. New to the market, the Eagle™ FA3/M inline fat measurement and contaminant detection provides automated quality checks including fat analysis and contaminant detection of loose meat products and the Eagle™ Pipe is a pipeline x-ray inspection system for contamination in liquids, slurries and solid meat products. On display for the first time will be the Eagle™ Bulk 540 PRO, which uses advanced x-ray inspection technology for high-volume, loose flow dry or wet bulk foods, providing thorough identification of physical contaminants with precise rejection for less product waste.
